The Billionaire’s Maid Bride (Flanagan and Allison)

Chapter 530

Penelope just wouldn’t open the door.

Leah grumbled at Christopher, “All this is because of that girl Allison you adore so much. If it weren’t for

her, our daughter wouldn’t be hurt so much by public opinion.”

Christopher frowned, not refuting Leah’s accusation. He was worried about the already declining stock

price of the Flanagan Corporation and, as a father, he couldn’t bear the online attacks on his daughter. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Penelope, please come out. Whatever it is, we can talk it out as a family. Don’t mind the words online.

The doctor said you need rest. Penelope, your mom and I are really worried about you!”

The trending topics of the past few days had been bombarding Penelope, deepening her jealousy of

Allison. She really wanted to kill that bitch Allison! After about ten minutes or so, Penelope, with her red

eyes, opened the door and threw herself into Leah’s arms. “Mom…” She couldn’t help but burst into

tears.

Leah quickly held her daughter.

In the study, the three of them sat on the couch. Leah complained, “The Flanagan Corporation, the

stocks… You’re so obsessed with these. Do you even care about Penelope and me? If that’s the case,

why don’t you just live with the company! I’ll take Penelope and we’ll live on our own!”

Christopher retorted, “What are you talking about?”

Leah was just venting. She couldn’t really leave Christopher.

If she divorced Christopher now, she would only get a small share of the stocks. And she was certain

that the moment they divorced, Christopher would find a younger, more beautiful wife. He might even

secretly see Grace.

“Leah, I’m worried about our daughter too. Penelope, I think the most prudent thing to do now is to post

an apology on Twitter. This whole thing started because you lashed out at a marketing account and it

went viral. You need to remember that you are the future daughter-in-law of the Lindberg family. Your

actions represent both the Lindberg and the Flanagan families.”

Penelope sobbed, “Dad, what should I do now?” Spoiled from an early age by the Flanagan family and

deeply loved by Leah, Penelope had never experienced hardship. The pressure of the negative

publicity terrified her. But, at the same time, her jealousy of Allison was growing.

Christopher’s company had a professional PR team. Seeing his daughter upset, he immediately

arranged for his PR team to intervene. He advised Penelope, “You should post on Twitter right now. Be

polite, and apologize to Allison. Say you didn’t mean it. The internet will forget about this in a few days.

After three months, when you’re back in the entertainment industry, no one will remember this.”

Penelope looked up, gritting her teeth. Apologizing to Allison was out of the question. If she was

capable of apologizing, things wouldn’t escalate to this point.

But Penelope was wavering. The online criticism was too harsh. She was afraid her past mistakes

would be exposed.

“I didn’t say anything wrong. Dad, it was Allison who provoked me first!”

Christopher was exasperated with his daughter. He had seen the whole incident and knew it had

nothing to do with Allison. It was purely because Penelope was excessively jealous.

But he only had one daughter. Even if she was wrong, he had to protect her.
